In general, the Spring Framework aims to construct error message
strings only if an actual error has occurred. This seems to be the
common pattern in the codebase and saves both CPU and memory. However,
there are some places where eager error message formatting occurs
unnecessarily.
This commit addresses this issue in the following classes:
AdviceModeImportSelector, AnnotationAttributes, and
ReadOnlySystemAttributesMap.
The change in ReadOnlySystemAttributesMap also avoids a potential
NullPointerException.
Issue: SPR-13007
This commit introduces support in the spring-test module for obtaining a
reference to the underlying target object hidden behind one or more
proxies.
Specifically this commit introduces AopTestUtils with two methods:
- getTargetObject(Object)
- getUltimateTargetObject(Object)

Commit 5648fbfc31 introduced a
compile-time dependency on spring-beans-groovy in the spring-context
module which breaks the build on the CI server since the Animal Sniffer
task cannot find a JAR file for spring-beans-groovy.
This commit reverts that change so that the "sniffer" task once again
succeeds.
Prior to this commit, the `getAnnotation()` method in `TypeDescriptor`
only supported a single level of meta-annotations. In other words, the
annotation hierarchy would not be exhaustively searched.
This commit provides support for arbitrary levels of meta-annotations
in `TypeDescriptor` by delegating to `AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation()`
within `TypeDescriptor.getAnnotation()`.
Issue: SPR-12793
Prior to this commit, AntPathMatcher would not correctly combine a path
that ends with a separator with a path that starts with a separator.
For example, `/foo/` + `/bar` combined into `/foo//bar`.
Specifically, this commit:
- Removes the duplicated separator in combined paths
- Improves RequestMappingInfo's toString() representation
- Fixes Javadoc formatting in AntPathMatcher
- Polishes AntPathMatcherTests
- Polishes Javadoc in AbstractRequestCondition

This commit introduces a messaging.converter.MessageConverter that
marshals to/from XML using the abstractions provided in the OXM module.
